We give a survey of various recent developments in orbit equivalence and measured group theory. This subject aims at studying infinite countable groups through their measure preserving actions.

This article is a survey article on geometric group theory from the point of view of a non-expert who likes geometric group theory and uses it in his own research. The sections are: classical examples, basics about quasiisometry,properties…

The survey presents the main developments obtained over the last decade regarding pointwise ergodic theorems for measure preserving actions of locally compact groups. The survey includes an exposition of the solutions to a number of long…

We generalize the box and observable distances to those between metric measure spaces with group actions, and prove some fundamental properties. As an application, we obtain an example of a sequence of lens spaces with unbounded dimension…

In this article, we establish weighted strong and weak type inequalities for non-commutative square functions that naturally arise in the analysis of differences between ball averages and martingale sequences within the framework of group…

We present a new approach to the proof of ergodic theorems for actions of free groups based on geometric covering and asymptotic invariance arguments. Our approach can be viewed as a direct generalization of the classical geometric covering…

We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence, using bounded cohomology of group representations. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of groups arising from negative…

We study graph products of groups from the viewpoint of measured group theory. We first establish a full measure equivalence classification of graph products of countably infinite groups over finite simple graphs with no transvection and no…

Spaces of quasi-invariant measures supplied with different topologies are studied. Their embeddings, projective decompositions, conditions for their metrizability are investigated. Theorems about convergence of nets of quasi-invariant…

We study several properties of expansive group actions on metric spaces and obtain relation between expansivity for subgroup and group actions. Through counter examples necessity of hypothesis are justified. We also study expansivity of…

This is a self-contained introduction to the applications of ergodic theory of nonsingular (also known as quasi-invariant) group actions and the structure theorem for finitely generated abelian groups on the extreme values of stationary…

We undertake a comprehensive study of measure equivalence between general locally compact, second countable groups, providing operator algebraic and ergodic theoretic reformulations, and complete the classification of amenable groups within…

Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $\Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of…

Measure Equivalence (ME) is the measure theoretic counterpart of quasi-isometry. This field grew considerably during the last years, developing tools to distinguish between different ME classes of countable groups. On the other hand,…

The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More…

The aim of this paper is to prove ergodic decomposition theorems for probability measures quasi-invariant under Borel actions of inductively compact groups (Theorem 1) as well as for sigma-finite invariant measures (Corollary 1). For…

This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…

This work is devoted to the study of minimal, smooth actions of finitely generated groups on the circle. We provide a sufficient condition for such an action to be ergodic (with respect to the Lebesgue measure), and we illustrate this…

I discuss group averaging as a method for quantising constrained systems whose gauge group is a noncompact Lie group. Focussing on three case studies, I address the convergence of the averaging, possible indefiniteness of the prospective…

A space for gauge theories is defined, using projective limits as subsets of Cartesian products of homomorphisms from a lattice on the structure group. In this space, non-interacting and interacting measures are defined as well as functions…
